There is, after all, a deplorable lack Of
romance in this progressive age of ours, ~
said gentleman in one of our jewelry
stores. In days gone by the betrcthal
ring was considered As a sort of love to-
ken, and the maiden who received il wore
it and dotted upon it because Of the spirit
in which it WAS given. Now, however,
the girls are very particular, and il is no
unusual thing for them to come here with
their engagements and have the settings
changed, an alteration made in the in
scription or some other little matter that
don't just suit them corrected. And the
wedding ring is no longer held SO sacred
rs il used to be. Why, do you know it
has not been long since prospective bride
came in alone and selected her own we'd
ding ring, had it fitted to her finger left
the order for the engraving to so within
the hand, and then had the cost charged
to her fiance. Now that sort of thing is
calculated to knock romance higher than
a kite. Williamsport Grit.
